Through his book, Allen explores the influential role of local World Affairs Councils in fostering vibrant discussion groups across the nation, where citizens gathered to share knowledge and insights on global issues. The event will be moderated by WACA Vice Chair Mimi Gregory, promising an engaging and thought-provoking conversation.
